The Proceed is the first 1/8 scale racing kit from HPI Racing. For serious racers looking for the ultimate in speed and tuning capability, look no further! This is the kit to have.

Capable of 0-60 in less than 3 seconds on the way to a top speed in excess of 70 mph, the Proceed is not for the faint of heart! This is a kit for the truly hard-core racer who wants to experience the most demanding on-road R/C racing experience.
